FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for August 18, 2014

You’re in the prohibition era, Jason, where your mother prohibits you from making your father look like an idiot.

@Andy

You started it…

Acme Barrel Supply? This won’t end well!

Zymology is half art, half science. If you aren’t skilled at either, do not try it home unless your government prohibits the sale or consumption of alcohol, or you have a really strong gastrointestinal tract impervious to cleaning fluids.

Makin’ beer’s easierWups!

One of my favorite Foxtrot strips.

Acme Barrel Supply? Where’s Wiley and Roadrunner?

Just went to a winery called Cedar River Cellars that is still a hobby operation, but is commercial to the extent that he is up to 12 barrels of production in a rental space. Hobby because it barely pays for itself.

Something to wash down Mom’s cooking with.

And I meant his first batch of beer, nothing else.

I will be “still” on this. Not a mention of any “shining” by the “moon”…

Too late to stop Roger, Andy.

A few years ago they finally legalized home brewing in Utah. A few legislators thought that it would contribute to underage drinking, but I don’t know any high school kids who would be willing to spend three hours over a hot stove, wait a week and a half for it to ferment, spend another two hours bottling it all and then wait a few more weeks for it to be ready to drink. That’s way too much work for a teenager.

Child, do not play chicken with your mother. She always wins.

Jason, don’t get too comfortable with the idea that this’ll get your mother to be more lenient when you want to play violent video games down the road.

One of my favorite storylines that I love to read in my FoxTrot books!

@Jason

Warm up your fingers and get ready to play D2 or D3 now…

I was talking about ale. Wine takes much longer to mature.
